But the two are *not* comparable. The first is a extreme and evil terrorist,
the second a well respected politician. Thus they are mentioned on the net
for different reasons.

It's my assumption that Disney creators is a group of comparable individuals
who would be mentioned in the internet for the same reason. The more popular
they are the more they are mentioned.

No I don't have any such course. I used some statistics though. I did that
by using SPSS as a tool to help me analyse the frequencies of various types
of cases, etc. that I registered from old justice protocols from the period
1616-1642.
